Coach Jackson, Ricky spent 7 years at the helm of the Strength and Conditioning program at Texas Southern University responsible for eighteen different sports in the athletic program. He was praised for the development of the university’s weight room into a fully functional facility for all eighteen sports while providing personal training for university students and employees. He was also responsible for dietary programs for weight loss/gain, and educating athletes about nourishment to achieve optimal performance.

“Coach” Jackson has played an integral part in the following successes during his tenure:

Prior to his stint at TSU, “Coach” Jackson was a professional prizefighter from 1989 until retiring in 2001. He bypassed the amateur ranks and began competing on the professional level.

In 1998, he signed with boxing promoter Don King, where he remained until 2000. He attributes his exceptional strength and conditioning knowledge to the multitude and quality of coaches and personal trainers he has the privilege of working with over the years.

Before I began training with Ricky, I wasnt considered overweight. I had been working out most of my adult life, so I was fairly fit, but I couldnt say I was pleased with my body. I cant remember a time when I didnt believe I could stand to lose 5 or 10 more pounds. Most women between the age of 18-65 share that common theme. It appears to be permanently etched in our minds.

Im sure there are a lot of women who were like me, from size 2 thru 22 and beyond, who wished they could find a great pair of jeans that didnt include the proverbial MUFFIN TOP. And though I read the same articles in over 15 different magazines in the last 15 years I still couldnt seem to flatten my abs in two weeks, lift my butt in 5 minutes a day or get lean thighs with 10 NEW moves ( I dare you to look at a magazine cover right now). I tried diets, ab machines, and I even tried to get a Smokin Hot Body in 90 days. Unfortunately none of those methods really worked or had any long term effect. I was left feeling defeated and unsatisfied. I needed something different.

I remember, of all days, it was Thanksgiving, and a friend of mine who is very fit and looks like a model on a magazine cover, recommended I work out with Ricky. I was mildly skeptical. I wasnt really sure how working out with a trainer was going to be any different than everything else I tried, but since nothing else bought me the success I craved, I gave it a shot.

WOW! I was blown away! Ricky was able to show me all the things I needed to do to get the lasting results of my dreams. Yes, I had to work at it but believe me, MEASURABLE CHANGE is a great motivator. Its even a lot of fun, especially when I try on jeans. No more MUFFIN TOP! The diet and fitness industry rakes in billions of dollars a year by playing on peoples emotions. They want you to believe that this NEW and IMPROVED way of working out is the one size fits all answer. Ricky taught me a realistic approach to health and fitness and he showed me what works.

If youre a world class athlete looking for an edge, a parent, if you travel on business, if you if you are sick and tired of wasting time on the new fitnessFLAVOR OF THE MONTH craze, or even if you have never worked out before, let Ricky show you how to reach your potential and meet your goals.

He is well versed in the psychology and physiology of the body. He knows what it takes to STRENGTHEN, SHAPE and FUEL your body and he teaches you how it all works in harmony, one with the other. Of all of his many qualities Ricky has the UNPARALLELED ability to evaluate each client to specifically design a program that works to help you achieve YOUR individual goals.

Ricky showed me how to incorporate fitness into my life. I no longer worry that I should lose 5 or 10 more pounds. I feel strong, confident, beautiful and pleased with my body. I think hes the BEST!

How did you get started teaching?

Retiring from professional sports after a 10-year career, I was offered the opportunity to become a collegiate Strength & Conditioning coach for 18 different sports at Texas Southern University. This leads me into my own private fitness profession, successfully for the last 15 years beginning in 2006.

What types of students have you worked with?

I work with everyone, from pro athletes to 5-year-olds, developing programs to accommodate their specific fitness needs.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

I was the flexibility Coach for the 2018 Houston Chevron Marathon, with over 400 participants following my pre-competition flexibility program.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Do your research before you hire a fitness professional to manage your health & fitness, and wellness needs..

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
